Sign and seal Of her deliverance from

Of being less than her own child In the

this wandering woman secured the

such suffering to other women in the

His Opposition to Powderly
Ia Absurd.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June SIN re-
ference to the dIsra .ches which au-
nounce that Rev. DR.. Edward M'Glynn
intends to become a Knight of Labor
and is also regarded by many as a
probable formidable opponent TO Gen.
eral Master Workman Powderly, Gen
eral Secretary Litchman, Of the
Knights of Labor, said this afternoon
~ know nothing further than what
/ hear from the dispatches published
in the morning papers. Ii DR..
M'Glynn wishes to join the Order
l am sure he will be welcome. Az
for the statement that he will be an
opponent to Mr.. Powderly it Ia simply
a case OF overwrought imagination.
DIR. McGlypn could not by any posi-
BILE means bs delegate to the Gen.
ersl Assembly inside of two years. He
would have to first join local assem-.
bly, and be a member for six months
before he could be delegate to dis.
trict assembly, and then it would re.
quirs eighteen months more to quail
lily him as member of the General
Assembly. The next General Assem-.
bly,, when the election takes place
occurs next October.

TINE COLOR LINE

Has been drawn at Asbury Park, that
most cody of all the spots on earth,
where during the season sea bathing
and prayers may be enjoyed alternate

allowed. Ex-Mayor James A. Brad

this ultra-rsligious community, has
issued orders excluding the oolored

arc up in arms about a and they pro-
pcss 70 resist this mandate through
the courts and before the conferences

explains that "the whole matter re-
solves itself into the question,
how are we to retain the patron.

them the place would not be what It
Is, and not only is the white popula.
ton dependent on this patronage, but
the colored people also. The people
who come here are OF the great mid.
die class, and they bring their preju.
dicee with them, and there is no ques-
ton that prejudice against colored
people is one OF them" This is a
candid and frank confession, proving
what the APPEAL has always con-
tended for, that the colored man has
no place, no secure place, in the social
or political fabric OF the Northern
States. The great middle class, men,

"patrons." They want God, and the
beech, and the bathing and the paw
lion all to themselves. And yet
Brother Bradley and his patrons
will howl with Senator John Sherman,
as he paints the imaginary political
difficulties that environ and interfere
with the negro at the South. Brother
Bradley wants the negro to have his
rights In Africa or in the South; any.
where but at Asbury Park. That
place is dedicated to the worship Of
che white mans God, and no niger
